BangZoom Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Here's a grouping of my copies of the St. John covers from Nov '32 to May '33. The first four illustrate Kline's Buccaneers of Venus, the last two Williamson's Golden Blood. The May '33 issue is a transitional on from a design perspective. It's the last issue with the red masthead, and the first issue with the new title letter design. Beautiful copies. Thanks for posting. Weird Tales had so many spectacular covers. I especially love those St. John covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 a nice big hit of St J- great way to start the day ! Great cover. I wonder who owns the artwork for the covers St. John painted for Amazing and Fantastic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 "Zombie Killer" by George Vandegrift Horror Stories (February 1941) Without the knife, this could easily be a Shadow illo - though the Shadow rarely bothered with hand to hand combat preferring picking off his battles or letting his twin .45's do the work. I do not recall any zombie tales within the Shadow canon. He also looks like the Spider. The Spider (June 1940) I went with the Shadow b/c of the scarf. The Spider was never shy to show his face to inspire horror unlike the skulking Shadow who prefers to instill fear with his laugh (which is at times hard to stomach but we don't read those for credibility anyway ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I finish my comic collection, I'm going after more pulps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangZoom Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Terrific. In addition to the three Peril novels which were set on Venus, Kline also wrote two novels set on Mars. Argosy (November 25, 1933) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Calhoun Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 the bulk of my detective stories are in my vintage PB collection. Day Keene, Harry Whittington, Erle Stanley Gardner, and Cornell Woolrich all faves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Bat man by Parkhurst... I like it. I didn't realize Parkhurst was capable of such skillful pen and ink work. He also drew the Black Bat and was probably responsible for some of those costume and emblem changes picked up by various artist of DC's Batman.

BangZoom Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Interesting info. Up to now I knew Parkhurst mainly from the covers he did for the Spicy pulps. I looked him up on GCD and discovered that he also did quite a bit of work in comics. Link Much of Parkhurst's work was for westerns, including: Golden Arrow, Hopalong Cassidy, Roy Rogers, Red Ryder, etc. Here are a few random pages from Four Color #230.
